A private forum for Wedding Venue Owners and Leaders 

Tuesday 17 November 2026
10am–6pm

Moxhull Hall, near Birmingham, UK 

Wedding revenue
you haven’t found yet |
Diversification
you haven’t considered yet.

Revenue that’s already within reach, and what could be.

Most successful wedding venues are leaving revenue on the table. Some of it is hiding in plain sight within the wedding market itself — in tapping in with greater relevance to the real expectations of today’s couples and how they want to research, plan and host their weddings.

Some of that revenue lies beyond weddings altogether, in what else your land and property can be diversifying into.

All eggs in one basket is a risky strategy in an ever-turbulent wider landscape.

A Brand New Forum Created by me, Kelly Chandler

Specialist wedding venue consultant & rural diversification expert. Listening to you, my client venue owners and senior leaders, as to what you’re telling me you need right now to support you through consistently turbulent, evolving times to continue to sustain your (wedding) venue, property and team - to thrive and to grow.

What’ll be covered at Untapped

I’m joined by an exciting line-up of hand-picked experts in their fields in this one-day live event forum to bring insights, inspiration, practical know-how, discussion and to spur you onto empowered action taking whether we’re talking about repositioning your wedding strategy or looking at a brand-new diversification.

A flavour of topics...

  • Successful film and photography location hire of your venue, the different options out there for easy venue hire revenue with specific mistakes to avoid, how to get started or develop your existing offering for greater success

  • Corporate markets and midweeks – be it conference, director retreats, team multi-day off-sites - we’ll be hearing from agency buyers, direct outreach specialists and venue founders who’ve already walked the diversification walk to help you tap into this strong mid-week market with confidence, relevance and know-how

  • The Purple Pound – The UK hospitality industry loses an estimated £530 million annually by failing to serve disabled guests and their networks. For individual wedding venues, that translates to £125,000–£150,000 in lost revenue each year. Uncover what changes need to be made (without renovation and massive spend) to become more inclusive and tap into that extra revenue

Questions?

What sort of venue is the Untapped Forum for?

Variety is definitely the spice of life, and I’m proud to serve a wide range of venues in my private consultancy, and I intend this is reflected in Untapped. But it will appeal mainly to those with an established wedding-heavy business, such as independently owned, exclusive-use wedding locations. That includes country houses and estates, barns and farms and more, in all corners of the UK and beyond. Most importantly, an active desire and willingness to take action towards growth and “being better”, whether that’s adopting fresh approaches within the wedding market and/or looking at diversifying revenue and seeking inspiration and solid advice on which choices to make and/or how to make them more successful.

Is this for me or my team?
